IMPROVEMENT IM eAUcEs EOE cIIi-GULAE sIiwIMck MAcIIINE's.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONOERN Be it known that I,.IOIIN D. RILEY, ofCincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, and State of Ohio, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Bevelling Machines; and I do herebydeclare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of theconstruction and operation of the same, reference being had to the iannexed drawings, making part of thisspeeiiication, in which- V Figure 1is a perspective view; and i Figure 2 is a sectional view in the line xa: of iig. 1.

My invention consists in the employment of a hinged adjustable bevellingfence and guide bar by means of which a board may be bevelled to anydesired angle. i

To enable others skilled in the art to maire and use my invention, Iwill proceed to describe its construction and operation.

A A, figs. 1 and 2, are the arms of the fence, to which is hinged thebevelling fence B, which can be raised or lowered to cut at any desiredangle. To the back edge of the bevelling fence B is hinged a piece', C,having slots made in it through which pass the upright arms DD, whichlatter are also hinged at their lower ends to the back cross-rail a ofthe arms of the fence; set-screws E E pass into the piece C and bearagainst the upright arms D D, to hold the bevelling fence at any desiredangle. It will be seenby this arrangement df` parts that the bevelling4fence can be adjusted at any desired angle. E is a cross-bar fastenedto the upper part of the fence, as seen innthe drawings, to which arehinged two armsl F F, which are also hinged at their lower ends to amovable guide-bar, G, to which is fastened the piece H having curvedslots, in which set-screws I I work, the latter being attached to thehinged arms F F. .The board to be bevelled has its upper edge placedagainst the lower guide bar G, which can be moved along the hevellingfence B, to cut the board atany desired width, the guide-bar alwaysmoving in such a manner as to occupy a position parallel to its formerone. -This machine is fastened to the saw-table by thumbsscrews workingin slots in the arms A A of the fence,as in the ordinary square fence.When it is 'desired to out two boards of different widths with a bevel,ltheir upper -edges are placed against the guide-bar G, the bevellingfence is set at the desired angle,and the saw is brought to operate uponthem, when the board will be 'cut off with the same-bevel, and twounequal widths of ofal will result. When it is desired to bevel atapering piece, the guide-bar Gis placed on the slide-board, and whenone edge is bevelled the piece is turned around, and the opposite edgeis bcvelled if desired.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure. by Letters Patent, is`

1. I claim the bcvelling fence B, hinged to the arms A A, and adjustable,to cut a bevel at any desired angle, substantially in the manner andfor the purpose set forth.- v

2. And in combination with the above, I claim the guide-bar G, and pieceH, having curved slots, set-screws I I, and hinged arms F F, connectedwith the cross-bar E, substantially in the manner and for the purposeset forthfY v 3. I claim the hinged bevelling fence B, provided at itsback edge with the hinged slotted cross-bar C, in combination with thehinged uprights D D to adjust said fence to any desired angle,substantially in the manner V and for the purpose set forth.

To the above specification of an improved bevelling machine I havesignedmy hand this fifth day of July, 1866. y
